turbo sound trick

someone said something about a thing you put in your muffler that makes it sound like a turbo does anyone know where to get this from. Just wondering how it would sound. Im thinkin if my new gude head gets the horsepower it should maybe someone will think I have a turbo

I know that tornado thing that you can buy that goes onto your intake sounds kinda like a turbo but I havent heard anything about putting something in your exhaust.

its the Racctive turbo muffler...it has a turbine (looks like a turbo turbine) in the rear end, it was made for cars with turbos so that it pulls out the exhaust heat quicker...it will make a slight turbo sound on normal motor cars, but was designed to work on turbo applications

bro, you should definitely put your $$ to better use. if you don't have one already, a new clutch should be in order if the advertised power gains are real according to the dyno. my .02

I think you're looking for something like the old school monza tips. They are exhaust tips with resinators, they can give you that sound.



ahhh the internet never fails

The turbo sound should be heard under the hood not under the back bumper. It would be dumb to buy that just so your car can make a turbo sound that's coming from the wrong part of the car.

Ractive's turbo muffler was made for turbo applications. Do you hear that, it was made for something. It was not intended for ricers to get ahold of it and put it on their s$%^ to have the feeling of speed. It has a logical use, it sucks the air out of the pipe, like a BOV would. I have heard and saw the muffler at a SEMA conferance and it does not product much of a sound. if you want loud and annoying sound get a glass pack muffler from thrush. if you want cool, deep bass like me get a straight though exhaust or a catback. Dont buy this part unless you have a turbo, or else you will be ridiculed here, wasting your money and you will **** off people that have a turbo and muffler like this. No turbo means you dont get a turbo product.

theres a thing on ebay right now. type in something like "turbo sound" to find it. its $19. kind of a waste. its this contraption that clamps to your tailpipe from the inside. i think its a big waste now that i tihink about it. but if you want it, buy it

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]WHAT THE f$%^ IS THAT?!!!!?! That has got to be the gayest thing I have ever seen, that is the DUMBEST, thing ever created. Do you realise some idiot had to come up with the idea for that? How stupid. If I ever saw anyone with that I would rip if off in 5secs flat. How are you expected to do anything with a speaker? Please someone tell me that this is not right. How DARE they immiate the sound of the best thing to happen to cars. SHAME

I agree that it is a pointless add-on. But whatever though, its not your car, its theirs. to each there own. not everyone is gonna like everything. there's plenty off useless accessories that people ue and some people hate them while others love them. personally, i think altezza taillights are hideous and are a pathetic rip off of lexus. Not only are they ugly but half the time they leak and cause more problems then theyre worth, and msot importantly, theyre just plain ugly. But my point is, if its your car, do whatever you want to make it yours. even if that means a fake turbo sound.
